     section 1052(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for

     forces in the Pacific Theater of Operations from December 7, 
     1941 to July 29, 1945;
       (2) with her courageous and capable crew, compiled an 
     impressive combat record during the war in the Pacific, 
     receiving in the process 10 battle stars in actions from the 
     Aleutians to Okinawa;
       (3) rendered invaluable service in anti-shipping, shore 
     bombardment, anti-air, and invasion support roles and serving 
     as flagship for the Fifth Fleet under Admiral Raymond 
     Spruance and flagship for the Third Fleet under Admiral 
     William F. Halsey; and

     thus upholding the very highest traditions of the United 
     States Navy.

     that vessel throughout World War II.

     the catchment area of a military treatment facility because a 
     local provider is not available, or in any other respect not 
     within the terms of a new managed care support contract, the 
     beneficiary shall be reimbursed by the network provider or 
     military treatment facility making the referral for the cost

     preauthorization from a primary care manager.

     SEC. 806. FACILITATION OF NATIONAL MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM.

       (a) Authorization of Waiver of Requirement for Completion 
     of Initial OT&E Before Production Begins.--Notwithstanding 
     section 2399(a) of title 10, United States Code, the 
     Secretary of Defense may make a determination to proceed with 
     production of a national missile defense system without 
     regard to whether initial operational testing and evaluation 
     of the system has been completed.
       (b) Requirement for Completion of Initial OT&E.--If the 
     Secretary makes such a determination as provided by 
     subsection (a), the Secretary shall ensure that such a 
     national missile defense system successfully completes an 
     adequate operational test and evaluation as soon as 
     practicable following that determination and before the 
     operational deployment of such system.
       (c) Notification to Congressional Committees.--The 
     Secretary shall promptly notify the Committee on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the Committee on Armed Services of 
     the House of Representatives, in writing, upon making a

     SEC. 807. OPTIONS FOR ACCELERATED ACQUISITION OF PRECISION 
                   MUNITIONS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Current inventories of many precision munitions of the 
     United States do not meet the requirements of the Department 
     of Defense for two Major Theater Wars, and with respect to 
     some precision munitions, such requirements will not be met 
     even after planned acquisitions are made.
       (2) Production lines for certain critical precision 
     munitions have been shut down, and the start-up production of 
     replacement precision munitions leaves a critical gap in 
     acquisition of follow-on precision munitions.
       (3) Shortages of conventional air-launched cruise missiles 
     and Tomahawk missiles during Operation Allied Force indicate 
     the critical need to maintain robust inventories of precision 
     munitions.
       (b) Reports.--(1) Not later than 90 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall 
     submit to the congressional defense committees a report on 
     the requirements of the Department of Defense for quantities 
     of precision munitions for two Major Theater Wars, and when 
     such requirements will be met for each precision munition.
       (2) Not later than March 15, 2000, the Secretary shall 
     submit to the congressional defense committees a report on--
       (A) the options recommended by the teams formed under 
     subsection (c) for acceleration of acquisition of precision 
     munitions; and
       (B) a plan for implementing such options.
       (c) Recommendations for Options.--The Secretary of Defense 
     shall form teams of experts from industry and the military 
     departments to recommend to the Secretary options for 
     accelerating the acquisition of precision munitions in order 
     that, with respect to any such munition for which the 
     requirements of the Department of Defense for two Major 
     Theater Wars are not expected to be met by October 1, 2002, 
     such requirements may be met for such munitions by such date.

     SEC. 808. PROGRAM TO INCREASE OPPORTUNITY FOR SMALL BUSINESS 
                   INNOVATION IN DEFENSE ACQUISITION PROGRAMS.

       (a) Requirement to Implement Program.--The Secretary of 
     Defense shall implement a program to provide for increased 
     opportunity for small-business concerns to provide innovative 
     technology for acquisition programs of the Department of 
     Defense.
       (b) Elements of Program.--The program required by 
     subsection (a) shall consist of the following elements:
       (1) The Secretary shall establish procedures through which 
     small-business concerns may submit challenge proposals to 
     existing components of acquisition programs of the Department 
     of Defense which shall be designed to encourage small-
     business concerns to recommend cost-saving and innovative 
     ideas to acquisition program managers.
       (2) The Secretary shall establish a challenge proposal 
     review board, the purpose of which shall be to review and 
     make recommendations on the merit and viability of the 
     challenge proposals submitted under paragraph (1). The 
     Secretary shall ensure that such recommendations receive 
     active consideration for incorporation into applicable 
     acquisition programs of the Department of Defense at the 
     appropriate point in the acquisition cycle.
       (c) Report.--The Secretary of Defense shall report to 
     Congress annually on the implementation of this section and 
     the progress of providing increased opportunity for small-
     business concerns to provide innovative technology for 
     acquisition programs of the Department of Defense.
       (d) Small-Business Concern Defined.--In this section, the 
     term ``small-business concern'' has the same meaning as the 
     meaning of such term as used in the Small Business Act (15 
     U.S.C. 631 et seq.).

     SEC. 809. COMPLIANCE WITH BUY AMERICAN ACT.

       (a) Compliance with Buy American Act.--No funds authorized 
     by this Act may be expended by an entity of the Department of 
     Defense unless the entity agrees that in expending the funds 
     the entity will comply with the Buy American Act (41 U.S.C. 
     10a et seq.).
       (b) Sense of Congress Regarding Purchase of American-Made 
     Equipment and Products.--It is the sense of Congress that any 
     entity of the Department of Defense, in expending funds 
     authorized by this Act for the purchase of equipment or 
     products, should purchase only American-made equipment and 
     products.
       (c) Debarment of Persons Convicted of Fraudulent Use of 
     ``Made in America'' Labels.--If the Secretary of Defense 
     determines that a person has been convicted of intentionally 
     affixing a label bearing a ``Made in America'' inscription, 
     or another inscription with the same meaning, to any product 
     sold in or shipped to the United States that is not made in 
     the United States, the Secretary shall determine, in 
     accordance with section 2410f of title 10, United States 
     Code, whether the person should be debarred from contracting 
     with the Department of Defense.

     SEC. 905. CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF CHINESE MILITARY AFFAIRS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) The strategic relationship between the United States 
     and the People's Republic of China will be very important for 
     future peace and security, not only in the Asia-Pacific 
     region but around the world.
       (2) The United States does not view China as an enemy, nor 
     consider that the coming century necessarily will see a new 
     great power competition between the two nations.
       (3) The end of the cold war has eliminated what had been 
     the one fundamental common strategic interest of the United 
     States and China, that of containing the Soviet Union.
       (4) The sustained economic rise, stated geopolitical 
     ambitions, and increasingly confrontational actions of China 
     cast doubt on whether the United States will be able to form 
     a satisfactory strategic partnership with the People's 
     Republic of China and will pose challenges that will require 
     careful management in order to preserve peace and protect the 
     national security interests of the United States.
       (5) The ability of the Department of Defense, and the 
     United States Government more generally, to develop sound 
     security and military strategies is hampered by a limited 
     understanding of Chinese strategic goals and military 
     capabilities. The low priority accorded the study of Chinese 
     strategic and military affairs within the Government and 
     within the academic community has contributed to this limited 
     understanding.
       (6) There is a need for a United States national institute 
     for research and assessment of political, strategic, and 
     military affairs in the People's Republic of China. Such an 
     institute should be capable of providing analysis for the 
     purpose of shaping United States military strategy and policy 
     with regard to China and should be readily accessible to 
     senior leaders within the Department of Defense, but should 
     maintain academic and intellectual independence so that that 
     analysis is not first shaped by policy.
       (b) Establishment of Center for the Study of Chinese 
     Military Affairs.--(1) Chapter 108 of title 10, United States 
     Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new 
     section:

     Defense and industry representatives in the launch process, 
     an examination of the incentives of the Department and 
     industry representatives throughout the launch process, and

     SEC. 1201. REPORT ON STRATEGIC STABILITY UNDER START III.

       (a) Report.--Not later than September 1, 2000, the 
     Secretary of Defense shall submit to the Committee on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the Committee on Armed Service of 
     the House of Representatives a report, to be prepared by the 
     Defense Science Board in consultation with the Director of 
     Central Intelligence, on the strategic stability of the 
     future nuclear balance between (1) the United States, and (2) 
     Russia and other potential nuclear adversaries.
       (b) Matters To Be Included.--The Secretary shall include in 
     the report the following:
       (1) The policy guidance defining the military-political 
     objectives of the United States against potential nuclear 
     adversaries under various nuclear conflict scenarios.
       (2) The target sets and damage goals of the United States 
     against potential nuclear adversaries under various nuclear 
     conflict scenarios and how those target sets and damage goals 
     relate to the achievement of the military-political 
     objectives identified under paragraph (1).
       (3) The strategic nuclear force posture of the United 
     States and of Russia that may emerge under a further 
     Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (referred to as ``START 
     III'') and how capable the United States forces envisioned 
     under that posture would be for the achievement of the damage 
     goals and the military objectives against potential nuclear 
     adversaries referred to in paragraphs (1) and (2).
       (4) The Secretary's assessment of (A) whether Russian 
     strategic forces under a START III treaty would, or would 
     not, likely be smaller, more vulnerable, and less capable of 
     launch-on-tactical-warning than at present, and (B) in light 
     of such assessment, whether incentives for Russia to carry 
     out a first strike against the United States during a future 
     crisis probably would, or would not, be greater than at 
     present under a START III treaty.
       (5) The Secretary's assessment of (A) whether China and so-
     called nuclear rogue states probably will, or will not, 
     remain incapable in the foreseeable future of carrying out a 
     launch-on-tactical-warning and be more vulnerable to United 
     States conventional or nuclear attack than at present, and 
     (B) in light of such assessment, whether incentives for China 
     and nuclear rogue states to carry out a first strike against 
     the United States during a future crisis probably would, or 
     would not, be greater than at present.
       (6) The Secretary's assessment of whether asymmetries 
     between the United States and Russia that are favorable to 
     Russia in active and passive defenses may be a significant 
     strategic advantage to Russia under a START III treaty.
       (7) The Secretary's assessment of whether asymmetries 
     between the United States and Russia that are highly 
     favorable to Russia in tactical nuclear weapons might erode 
     strategic stability.
       (8) The Secretary's assessment of whether a combination of 
     Russia and China against the United States in a nuclear 
     conflict could erode strategic stability under a START III 
     treaty.
       (9) The Secretary's assessment of whether doctrinal 
     asymmetries between the United States and Russia, such as the 
     expansion by Russia of the warfighting role of nuclear 
     weapons while the United States is de-emphasizing the utility 
     and purpose of nuclear weapons, could erode strategic 
     stability.
       (c) Classification.--The report shall be submitted in 
     classified form and, to the extent possible, in unclassified 
     form.

     variation authorized by law, the total cost of all projects 
     carried out under section 2301 of this Act may not exceed the
